Another  for check position and fit a new cable. We never notice when things deteriorate gradually. I popped a new clutch cable on my DRZ because it was a little frayed and was amazed to find I now had an easy "two finger" clutch even with a shorty lever.
You do know that you don't actually need the clutch for upshifts; if you hold the gear lever up as you're accelerating through one gear, it will snick seamlessly into the next as you chop the throttle. Pretending to operate the clutch will help with learning the timing needed. I very rarely use the clutch for upshifts once out of first.
